Does anyone have the pre-election poll and the exit-poll for the Lower House? Foreign press keeps saying that Pro-GMA retains strong Lower House control which means impeachment ainÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t gonna happen, any reason to think dem foren-dyers are blowing smoke?

That’s probably true. Some places don’t even have an opposition presence. As stated earlier by supremo, the next 3 years will be all about jockeying for position for 2010.

Some places donÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t even have an opposition presence [for the Lower House].

That’s probably because they go with whoever disburses the pork. It would be interesting to see what will happen if it turns out that the people elected a Senate that’s willing to convict on an impeachment. Remember it only takes 70+ votes in the House.

At a precinct for mostly Philippine Navy and Fap personnel and dependents in Cavite City., Trillanes was one of the top winners. Ito talaga shows the sentiments even of military and military dependents. Ano pa ang sasabihin ng mga nagbubulagbulagan at nagbibingibingihan jan.

Granted that when I first made that comment re Trillanes’ strong showing I only based it on the early quick counts of SWS which others (including you) say are only MM-based. However, if you will refer to Pulse Asia’s nationwide exit polls, Trillanes got a 35%+ rating which landed him at the 9th place. Doesn’t that means that he’s got a broad following nationwide and not just in MM?

yup. the “machinery” (which i believe we fund) hasn’t kicked in yet. i’m sure there will be a lot more room for maneuvering in the nights that follow, and more money changing hands. the 12-0 TU result in Maguindanao (a result by the way that eludes independent confirmation) is preview of the amazing, incredible, black magic to come. it’ll make lord voldemort look like a street mime.

acero, maria:

hey i voted for trillanes. 🙂 but see “machinery” above. i’m waiting for the other shoe to drop… that little excuse that will be used to discredit the many other polls and unofficial counts, giving the government a story palatable only to them.
